It is now clear that Donald Trump is rapidly declining mentally and physically.
His behavior is reaching the alarming stage in so many cases, and his eating habits, lots of McDonald’s Cheeseburgers and 12 Diet Cokes per day, added to his weight issues and lack of sleep, are undermining his health.
The worst thing that ever happened to him was becoming President, as he does not have the constitution to deal with the burdens, mentally and physically, of being President.
It is believable that he never expected to be elected, but wanted to be able to say he had competed.
His life was so much simpler as a businessman and television star, and he has never had to deal with every day life of most Americans, as he was given a million dollars by his wealthy father, and never had to really struggle.
And when he had problems in business, he simply went bankrupt, and refused to pay workers and contractors the agreed money amounts.
Trump has been bested by the job of the Presidency, and he is incompetent, as his own staff knows, and told journalist Michael Wolff, author of the best selling book FIRE AND FURY: INSIDE THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE.
His time in office is very short now, and in many ways, his schedule demonstrates that he is at a stage similar to Franklin D. Roosevelt in his last months in office in 1945, and Woodrow Wison’s last year and a half in the Presidency from the Fall of 1919 to the Spring of 1921.
It will be a blessing to the world and to America when, finally, the nightmare of Donald Trump will be ended, hopefully with no major war.
You raise the issue of Don the Con’s physical and mental health. My comments:
1. physical health: Don does not drink or smoke (reportedly.) His diet is absurd: whether it consists of all McDonald’s cheeseburgers or Taco Bell bowls, it is highly atherogenic and worse, he is very sedentary. He’s cruising for occlusion of his coronary arteries and a big time heart attack–if he’s susceptible genetically.
No comparison to Roosevelt here, though: FDR was a heavy smoker and had ridiculously high blood pressure (way over 200/100) in an era when there were no known effective drugs to control hypertension… he was known to be declining months before the end, according to secret documents.
2. mental health: Don is demonstrably a character disorder, that is narcissistic personality disorder. He is delusional and thus psychotic. What causes this is a matter of speculation. On top of this, as the son of someone who died of Alzheimer’s Disease at 93, he is next in line for this too. His behavior has deteriorated demonstrably in the last year, as demonstrated in videos of him speaking in public.
On the other hand, Nixon went crazy too, and LBJ lost it after Tet– luckily he voluntarily stepped down.
BUT: What is worse? The insanity of the Republican Congressmen who think they can use his “leadership” to shrink the federal government to the point where they can drown it in a bathtub. They only have a year or so while he is still in power, and they’re not united in anything except destruction. Their actions will cause violent pushback from every individual “special interest group” they piss off by taking away funding or removing regulations protecting things. There will be blood in the streets, figuratively, on election day this November.
Report is that Trump’s official day doesn’t begin until 11 am. He spends a lot of his time watching a lot of TV, specifically Fox, which he Tweets often.

Conrad, your points are spot on!
